OUR MISSION

The DC Education Fund has been supporting DC Public Schools, one of the nation’s fastest improving school districts, since 2008. We do this by raising start-up capital for the district’s most innovative programs. In the last decade, Ed Fund has raised over $120M from foundations, businesses, and individuals to seed some of the most catalytic drivers of change. As DCPS’ primary philanthropic partner, our dollars allow the district to accelerate programs, test cutting-edge ideas, and be a national proof point on how to drive outcomes through innovation.
